Cockroaches are insects, they are closely related to termites. When we consider their living habits in urban settings, we need to really appreciate these little alien looking pests. Because of their ability to thrive without being noticed, when we see a cockroach somewhere in our house (or business premise) it usually means that they have already established their nesting.

Have you ever wondered why Cockroaches infestation is hard to eliminate? Two main factors for this are:
- They hide during the day and come out at night looking for food (however, if the infestation is large, you may even see them during the day).
- Cockroaches repopulation rate is high. Just one adult female German roach is able to produce egg case called ootheca every month (1 ootheca can have up to 20 to 40 eggs)
What’s important to remember about exterminating cockroaches is the fact, their eggs and nest (hiding spots) need to be identified and destroyed.
Where Do Roaches Nest and Hide?
Just like any other pest, first thing to consider is work out food and water sources they may be relying on to survive. Cockroaches love warm humid dark environment, these can be found in kitchens, bathrooms, attic, basement, in cracks and crevices, under or behind furniture, within wood piles outside the property.
Roaches have a stretchy membrane and flexible shell which allows them to absorbs shock (e.g. when landing after a jump or when stepped on), this also helps them to hide between tiny cracks and holes, hence their ability to hide out of sight.

Steps to Take for Reducing Pest Infestation
Almost all types of pests be it rats, mice, cockroaches, bees, termites, ants and many others always nest near easily accessible food sources and water supply. Unlike us humans, common pests found in urban settings simply fulfil their life-cycle (birth, reproduction, death). That means, your best weapon against controlling pests is to identify the environmental factors, cut off their food and water sources. Avoid moisture as much as possible inside your house as cockroaches feed on them as a water source. Then, regular pest inspection should be on your to do list at least twice a year.
For example: you can remove piles of debris such as newspapers, recycling items, unused boxes, wood piles all of which provide places to hide for cockroaches. Regularly clean surfaces around the home and never delay cleaning of food crumbs or spills. Always ensure food (rice, wheat, nuts etc.) is stored in air-tight closed containers. Check and repair broken taps, gutters or cracks around the building.
